This audio is from 2009 and the Mere Anglicanism conference in Charleston, SC. Oddly enough, Mohler admires Rick Warren's support of Proposition 8 in California but not one word about Warren's ecumenicalism or his Arminianism. Also, Mohler is blatantly participating in an Episcopal conference predominated by "orthodox" Anglo-Papists. How can someone who claims to be a Calvinist endorse a soteriology that is papist???!As the Episcopalian Church in the United States of America (ECUSA) has moved further into theological liberalism and away from biblical fidelity, many evangelical American Anglicans have ventured out in search of faithful church structures. In a special broadcast from the Mere Anglicanism Conference in Charleston (SC), Dr. Mohler welcomes Rev. Dr. William Dickson–rector of St. Andrews Episcopal Church in Forth Worth, TX–to the program to discuss the significance of these developments not only for Anglicans, but for evangelicals at large.

Addendum: Ironically, Mohler himself promotes morally conservative "civil religion":
Why I Signed the Manhattan Declaration
Further condemning evidence for compromise, Mohler thinks the Anglo-Papists are "Evangelical." And in the discussion Mohler is duped into advocating the 1549 Book of Common Prayer as the ideal for Anglicanism. What Mohler does not know is that though the 1549 BCP was edited by Cranmer it is NOT the most reformed prayer book. Rather the 1552 BCP is the reformed standard that influenced the 1662 Book of Common Prayer, which is part of the Anglican Formularies. The fact is that the 1549 BCP is upheld by the Anglo-Papists because they do not want to accept the 1552 reforms and the official 1662 Book of Common Prayer, nor do they accept the literal interpretation of the 39 Articles of Religion, which are Protestant. I cannot believe that Mohler is so ignorant of the history of the English Reformation and the Tractarian controversy.
